The Interior Design Reference & Specification Book: Everything Interior Designers Need to Know Every Day

Review: Awesome, awesome, awesome. - This interior design book, along with their architecture book, gave me SO MANY ideas, concepts, pitfalls, things to think about, that I couldn't put it down. I thought I knew a lot behind the engineering for designing my next house, this book showed me how wrong I was. This is not written like a story book, nor is it just a technical-numbers reference... it gives a brief (technical) overview of each concept before presenting the numbers behind each reference. If you're used to reading stories or are looking for decorating ideas, look elsewhere. But, if you've also got an engineer's brain, you will love how this reads. I especially liked the section on the engineering behind colors and light, with how it relates to design. I read this cover-to-cover, and will probably do it again more than once during my home design process.
Review: Finally an Encyclopedia of design! - Brilliant. Thorough. Consise. Ever thought to yourself, "I wish there was a book out there that told me every-thing I need to know about interior design in a clear format and preferably in simple diagrams"? This is it! It's so incredibly precise and detailed. The author covers the broad aesthetic concepts as well as the the detailed/dimensioned aspects in one fell swoop. From How to meet/bill clients, or building massing strategies, all the way to various weaves/construction of carpet or laminates. I can't adequately verbalize how emphatically impressed I am by this extraordinary compilation. I will buy everything these authors compile. So well crafted.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not for a hobbyist
*by M***S on November 6, 2015*

I wanted to know if I should go back to school for interior design since I love it as a hobby. This book is super concise but thorough, like a cliff notes of interior design, and bored me so bad I realized a hobby is enough for me. Great for students, professionals, perfectionists, or people currently building a home to understand what their designers and architects are doing and why.
